Sycamore Farmers Market- July 28
The Sycamore Farmers Market will take place on Tuesdays, from 3:00 – 6:00 pm, June 2 -September 1, on the front lawn of the DeKalb County History Center.
The Market celebrates local agriculture, handmade goods, food, music, and community. Visitors can shop a rotating selection of local vendors offering fresh produce, flowers, baked goods, honey, meats, specialty foods, handmade art, crafts, beverages, and more.
After you shop local, stay on-site to explore the “We the People of DeKalb County” exhibit for just a $5 fee (free for children 14 & under, and members), visit the gift shop, or just hang out to listen to live music while enjoying a cocktail or mocktail from MVPs Sport Bar. A portion of the bar sales are donated back to the History Center- cheers! Seating is limited, so visitors are encouraged to bring blankets and chairs that want to stay for the music, and those that live in the adjacent neighborhoods are invited to ride their bikes over to the History Center.
